The Paul Foster, Jason Banks match before it was even better

I'm new to this. Today, Set 1, Foster was 11/9 up (as I read it) with one end to play.
Why isn't that game over?
Paxton won the last end and it's a half?
Did I misread the score?

Although Foster was 11-9 up there was still one end to play. Both could have won the last end. If Rob had only scored 1 on the last end he would have lost the set 11-10. The format is two sets + a tie break if the set score is one set each, or two halves as we’ve just seen.

Thank you.
What an incredible finish and what a wonderful speech by Foster. Total respect shown by both men.

Fozzie’s a great guy. His pairs record with Alex Marshall is unreal.

If you want to dip in and out of shorter games the Australian league matches are very good. The Aussies play a very aggressive style that’s slowly spreading.

Over the last few weeks an owl has been hooting its lungs out not far from us, sounds amazing.

Thing is...many people with a 'faith' background...whether still 'active' or not...hold their faith-based family and social values very strongly and consider them core to how they live their life and their decision-making. So thankyou Stephen from Looowisss for showing that there is another way to living life that is not all abut self; not all all about the greed and selfishness of the Me, Me, Me of so many.

My dad didn't.

Got up this morning and a Peacock is walking around the back yard....

Have never seen one anywhere near where we live in 12 years......

Got to love nature......

Why many not all.

Think this may have been better posting in the Traitors thread where people know there might be spoilers

That’s the ending known then

Point taken….apologies… very stupid of me. Post deleted and moved.

I saw a clip earlier where he said "On the pitch, it got me going. In a restaurant with my wife, not so good."
I once watched Frank Bruno win a "Weakest Link" Boxing special

What was wrong with the other team?

Perhaps more of an interesting spectacle than a “gladden the heart.” Narco chase boats having a training session - more like boys with toys. 3 large chase boats, 2 ‘v’ 1, and a large 100m(?) police boat with helicopter. They did a session yesterday evening and are already out there this morning as dawn breaks.
